I currently have a 2-year-old Blackberry Tour which I'm thinking of trading in for a new Torch. However, I'm wondering if an iPhone would suit me better based on the following (I don't know that much about iPhone email capability):
-I have ~10 email addresses that I check frequently. I use Berrybuzz and different ringtones to help distinguish between them.
-2 of those email accounts are work-related (my own small business).
-All my computers are Windows 7.
-I use BIS, not BES, and use Thunderbird for email on all my computers. I do not use Outlook.
-I would like to sync my calendar with Google Calendar which I do now through my BB and through Thunderbird's Lightning add-on.
-I do not need push capability, 15 minute polling is fine.
-I really want IMAP capability for 1 of my email accounts which I can't get through BIS.
-I never use Gmail. Most of my personal email accounts are through Hotmail & Yahoo.
-I never use BBM but text message a lot.
-I surf the web fairly frequently and find my Tour's browser to be almost unusable.
-I NEED tethering capability (currently use Tether w/ my Tour). Free would be nice
-Wirelessly syncing podcasts from my computer to my phone would be great!
-The app on my BB I use most is Google Maps.
-I had to get an extended battery for my BB because I often use it all day long without being able to charge it.
-I'm on Verizon.
-I have no interest in Android.
Thanks very much! I've never used an iPhone so I don't know much about how it handles email.
It's either upgrade to the touchscreen BB or an iPhone within the next couple of months.
